Preparation and assembly
Chill glassware
Optional: Place a highball glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you gather ingredients so the finished drink stays colder longer.
Fill a highball or Collins glass about three-quarters full with fresh ice cubes (approximately the 1 cup of ice listed).
Pour in the grenadine syrup first so it settles toward the bottom and creates the classic gradient: measure and add 0.5 oz grenadine to the glass.
Add the fresh lime juice (0.25 oz) over the grenadine to brighten the flavor. If you prefer no citrus, omit this step or substitute a few drops of lemon juice to taste.
Gently stir once or twice with a bar spoon if you want a uniformly pink drink. For the signature layered look, do not stir.
Garnish: Skewer a maraschino cherry and rest it on the rim or drop it into the glass. Add the lime wheel or half wedge to the rim if using.
Serve immediately with a straw and a small napkin. Provide a stirrer if you left the layers for presentation so the guest can mix if desired.
